An outspoken and sometimes polarizing figure among hardcore fans, Marcus Davis almost expects to be criticized for his move. But he's also realistic about his chances in the new division.

Marcus Davis aims to drop from welterweight to lightweight after seven years of being in the division. According to him, he made the decision since he feels that he suits at 155 pounds better. More over, he plans to stay in the new weight class until he calls it quits.

“I’m going to finish out my career at 155 and try to entertain some people along the way before my old ass retires,” he said. “I like the opportunities that present themselves.”
